Piston displacement is measured volumetrically. It is shown as "cc" (cubic centimeters), for motorcycles and other small motors. It has been shown as "ci" (cubic inches) for old American engines. These days, automobile engines are most commonly shown in liters.
The volume is measured by multiplying the distance the piston travels inside the cylinder (stroke length), by the area of the piston head, multiplied by the number of pistons.
Example: In a V8 engine.... If the piston area is 8 inches and the stroke length is 6.25 inches, it is called a 400 cubic inch motor.

Its the volume swept by the piston inside the cylinder......OR....Its the movement of the piston from Top Dead Centre(TDC) to Bottom Dead Centre(BDC) inside the cylinder....NMN

means that your piston has some space between the cylinder walls and it's not tight so your probably loosing combustion...
